Barron William Trump (born March 20, 2006)[1] is an American television personality and the youngest son of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States. He is a member of the Trump family.

Early life and education[edit]

Barron was born on March 20, 2006 in Manhattan, New York City. He is the son of Donald Trump and his third wife, Melania Trump. He has four older half-siblings, namely Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric, and Tiffany.

In May 2006, Trump was baptized at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida. He was raised at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City and attended the Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in Manhattan until 2017. He moved to the White House in Washington, D.C. on June 11, 2017 and attended St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland until 2021.[2]

Since August 2021, Barron has attended Oxbridge Academy, a private college-preparatory high school in West Palm Beach, Florida[3], where he will graduate on May 17, 2024.[4]

In the media[edit]

During his early childhood, Barron made several television appearances, including on The Apprentice and a May 16, 2006, episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show at only two months old.[5]

In politics[edit]

Barron appeared at a campaign rally in South Carolina, and was present for his father's acceptance speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention, presidential victory speech,[6] and inauguration in January 2017, as well as some subsequent events. He has overall remained out of the political spotlight.[7]

In May 2024, Barron was selected by the Republican Party of Florida to be one of Florida's 41 at-large delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention, where he will vote to decide the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2024 presidential election.[8][9][10]

Personal life[edit]

In addition to English, Barron Trump is fluent in Slovene.[11] He stands at 6 foot 7 inches (2 meters) tall as of 2021 and is the tallest of Donald Trump's four children.[12]

Barron is known to be a fan of soccer.[13] In September 2017, he was selected to join the U-12 team for D.C. United's Development Academy for the 2017–2018 season.[14] As of February 2019, Barron played with the Arlington Soccer Association.

On October 14, 2020, Melania Trump confirmed that Barron had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, without exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19.[15]
